Destinations such as Majorca, Antalya, Amsterdam, Vienna, and Zurich continue to be favored choices from BER.
Aletta von Massenbach, Chief Executive Officer Flughafen Berlin Brandenburg GmbH: “Numerous airlines and notably the three major airlines Ryanair, Eurowings and easyJet are expanding their services from BER, flying to new destinations or increasing the number of flights. There will be more flights to North America and Asia. The increase in this year’s summer flight schedule is largely due to the expansion of existing flight connections. Therefore, travellers can travel more flexibly to the destinations of their choice. This increases the attractiveness and connectivity of the capital region.”
